New Twitter Code - Update

Just a little update to my previous post, there was a bug in the time since tweet displayed, due to the two different Twitter API's formatting the string differently.

New Twitter Code

I know I just posted a twitter code, but since then I decided to have twitterfeed blast my blog posts to my twitter and my Facebook. However, this posed a problem when the twitter feed on the blog was being filled with tweets about blog posts :)

To combat this problem we had to change how the feed worked.

Mail2Blogger is absolutely useless

What is the point of a service you cannot use? Why am I under flood control just because I imported an xml file 12 hours ago?

Yes, it says "the the".

Custom Twitter Callback

The source to my basic, yet slightly enhanced Twitter Callback for Blogger or any page really :)

My Enhancements include:

1. #hashtag link creation
2. In Reply To support (shows who I'm replying to and a link to their status like twitter.com)
3. via support (again like twitter.com, shows from what client I posted)

Blogger

Since I use my Google Account for everything else I might as well use blogger I guess. Needing a free host anyway.

So I imported my Facebook Notes, the only last remaining copy of my old blog posts. It seems that I lost the 2004-2006 posts :(

As for the theme, I built it using code from my current YouTube Channel Page, which I think looks snazzy

High Speed Recursive Linux Permission Changer

I wrote this a while back to help aid my needs, I am posting it in case you may find it helpful.

It is fairly easy, you run it in the directory you want to recursively change permissions on.

For example:

perl perms.pl 750 640 zefie zefie

Would set all files under my home directory to 640 (rw/r/-), and all directories to 750 (rwx/rx/-), and make the owner and group "zefie".
